Indians leading the Red Sox by two runs in the fifth. Hanley Ramirez sends a drive to center. Tribe fly-catcher Austin Jackson gives chase.

The Red Sox actually challenged the catch, but it stood upon review. Here, however, is the relevant portion of Rule 5.09 ...

A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area.
